14ymedio, Madrid, January 8, 2024 — The Military Objectors of Conscience (MOC), founded in 2021 by former Cuban officers in exile, says that the Communist Party does not actually govern in Cuba, but rather a “new oligarchic class” – formed by the Castro Espín and Gaesa family, through the control of national wealth – that only defends their own interests and against whom “rebellion is a current constitutional right.”
In a statement released this Sunday, the group affirms that the Cuban people are suffering “the totalitarian dictatorship of a mafia, a parasitic and irresponsible oligarchy that only defends their own interests.” The MOC believes that the military surrounding the Castro clan controls 70% of the country’s wealth and 95% of the financial transactions, abandoning the population and its basic needs, such as food, health, housing, education and security.
